Adrian Valencia – Spazio Autori Illustration<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This artist’s website has been sitting in my inbox for months waiting for me to write a blog post about him. I discovered Adrian Valencia back in August and he was featured in that month’s Inspiration Collection<\/a>. Since then I’ve been through his portfolio<\/a> and blog<\/a> and he’s now one of my new favourite artists!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adrian Valencia is originally from Argentina but moved in London in 2000. He’s a self taught illustrator with a background in graphic design with a lot of his work being travel and fashion inspired. I like how he fleshes out the backgrounds and put the subjects within a space. I want to to visit some of these places they look so good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

His work is similar to Kevin Dart<\/a> (another favourite of mine<\/a>) and Matthieu Forichon<\/a> which have a classic illustrative style. I love the combination of the simple flat shapes with textures, shadows and highlighting worked in. I think Valencia pulls this off really well and the amount of details in some of his work are amazing. I especially love his side profile series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adrian
My favourite of his Lady Gaga images – she looked good with the aqua hair<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can find Adrian Valencia’s work on his portfolio<\/a> as well as extra images on his blog<\/a>. I particularly like the posts that show off his sketches and references. You can also find him on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
